## Resource

Amidst the Iran-Israel-U.S. war in the Middle East, footage has emerged allegedly showing a new type of weapon being used in battle for the first time. Called the "Iron Beam" laser defense system, it uses electric powered lasers to shoot projectiles and drones out of the sky for a fraction of the price of a traditional Patriot battery.
